Electric potential is one of the most important concepts in electrostatics. We have already seen that electric charges produce electric fields and that electric fields can exert forces on other charges. But there is another way to understand the electrical…
When we study electrostatics, we usually start with electric charge and electric field. But there is another very important concept that helps us understand how electric charges behave: electric potential. The word “potential” can initially sound confusing. It is not…
